[quote=Anonymous]My current job ends this summer when DC ages into full time preschool. I've been with him since birth, and his parents pay me 52000 a year for full time (this part is relevant). I do just slightly above light housekeeping, everything related to DCs care, and 4/5 days we go to activities that are not reimbursed either in mileage or cost. The money has been phenomenal in our area (not DC) and has allowed me to give my grade school DC incredible opportunities. I love spending my days with my charge, but I hate going to work every day (mainly because the place is always trashed and his parents are really not that nice). I left a family I enjoyed immensely simply because of the increase in pay with my current family. Which brings me to today.
I interviewed with 2 amazing couples for an infant nanny share. I can't exactly pin point specifics, but I felt an instant click with the parents and baby A took to me immediately (4mos). Baby B is due any day. Anyway, here's the share pro points: *zero housework, not even baby related, *reimbursement for mileage and activities, *all school holidays paid (teacher families), *summers off, *I can watch tv during nap (this has never been allowed in my decade of nannying). So all of these points make it sound great. Until this one: the pay. They can only afford 200-250 a week, full time, per baby. Realistically, I can eek by on their proposed salary, but it would be tight.
So, if you were me, what do you think carries more weight? Higher pay with a family you may not click as well with on a personality level or less pay for parents who you mesh with instantly? I'm pretty sure I already have my decision, I just wanted to hear other view points.
